...But then, I have no intention of trying to change the minds of westerners' because I know I can't, just as

I can never convince the Americans that there is nothing sacred or inalienable about their right to keep and bear arms...

Uh huh, it's best not to start that debate

Fixed!

You're damn right, buddy.

What part of the post don't you understand? Let me know so that I can explain this to you well enough so that it sinks in and thus at some point in the future you're forced to bow to my Infallibility.

I ain't no lover of communism, nor am I a lover of capitalism as it stands now. No need to discuss the defects of communism as everyone knows 'em. But what I can say is that the form of capitalism practiced then up to now isn't working in third world country like ours, where people in the neighborhood are dying of Tuberculosis everyday not because the country doesn't have enough money but because the traditional elite businessmen, who has controlled the government ever since, have divided the nations spoils among themselves while leaving the poor perpetually impoverished. And the type of democracy that the westerners planted on us has become an effective tool to keep them in power, because it's a democracy dictated by money which only the elite has, thereby becoming a self-perpetuating tool for them. This is probably the same reason that guys like Chavez has started to become appealing to many Latin-American people. These are the things that many westerners simply don't understand. Most people in the third world are no worse off than those in Cuba. Believe me, I have seen it first hand and am still seeing it, shaking my head in dismay throughout...

Hugo was great at first but he's going a bit nuts now. What he's done with Venezuelan oil policy is good though. I like Evo Morales too. You've got to admire anybody who shows up at campaign rallies wearing an outfit consisting mainly of root vegetables.

I prefer Hugo, I love his oil better. Watch out, Hugo, they're gonna come and get you...


...Sorry folks, I got carried away a bit... ...Where were we?..
...ok, back to US politics and election...

Well that's an easy answer.... Ronnies nickname was Ray gun and Bush Jr smoked alot of pot, silly

Lyle how can you saying renewable energy doesn't work? Wind power doesn't work? That would certainly lighten the load on oil if it's true that we can get wind to power 25% of our stuff. Besides there are plenty of examples of other countries who are operating on things other then oil and doing fine. It's not as if ethanol is the end all as far as alternative fuels and renewable energy goes. It's pretty sad that developing countries like India are way ahead of us on the curve on this as well as practically every other country simply because we've fallen in love with oil.

Well Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush were Governors of very large states, which at least gave them some experience in Executive office. Reagan was successful in the private sector without riding on Daddy's coat tails.

Obama is a one term senator AND a community organizer.....wow what a resume....ironically the people who bash W for being unqualified are the same people BLINDLY following Obama for no rhyme or reason other than they hate Bush. And that fucking bastard had the nerve to diss Clarence Thomas!



As for renewable energy, it doesn't produce the way people need it to if it did governments wouldn't have to subsidize it.
